AST SpaceMobile, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a revenue increase to $1.2 million, up 28% from $900,000 in the same period last year. For the first half of 2025, total revenues reached $1.9 million, a 34% increase compared to $1.4 million in the first half of 2024. The revenue growth was primarily driven by performance obligations completed under agreements with U.S. government contractors and the resale of gateway equipment to mobile network operators (MNOs). Despite this revenue growth, the company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $99.4 million for the second quarter, a 37% increase from a loss of $72.6 million in the prior year.
Operating expenses for the second quarter totaled $74 million, reflecting a 16% increase from $63.9 million in the same quarter of 2024. The rise in expenses was attributed to higher engineering services costs, which increased by 35% to $28.6 million, and general and administrative costs, which rose by 53% to $27.2 million. Research and development costs also saw a significant increase of 43%, totaling $6.4 million. The company’s depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 43% to $11.7 million, primarily due to the full depreciation of the BlueWalker 3 test satellite.
In terms of operational developments, AST SpaceMobile has made significant strides in its satellite technology. The company launched five first-generation commercial BlueBird (BB) satellites in September 2024, which have demonstrated capabilities such as two-way video calls using standard smartphones. The company is also preparing for the launch of its next generation of Block 2 BB satellites, which are expected to enhance service capacity significantly. As of June 30, 2025, AST SpaceMobile had approximately 3,700 patent claims worldwide, with 1,700 granted, indicating a strong intellectual property position.
The company’s cash and cash equivalents stood at $923.6 million as of June 30, 2025, a substantial increase from $565 million at the end of 2024. This increase was bolstered by financing activities, including the issuance of convertible notes and equity sales, which provided $875.6 million in cash during the first half of 2025. Looking ahead, AST SpaceMobile plans to initiate a limited, noncontinuous SpaceMobile Service in select markets, including the U.S., Europe, and Japan, while continuing to secure additional contracts with government entities and MNOs. The company remains focused on its goal of building a global cellular broadband network accessible via standard mobile devices.
